OpenAI framework used to create undetectable malware

Some of the most notable machine learning tools can be hijacked in order to create super-powerful malware capable of bypassing most anti-virus systems, researchers have claimed. At the recent DEF CON event, security company Endgame revealed how it created customized malware using Elon Musk's own OpenAI framework that security engines were unable to detect. Endgame's research was based around taking binaries that appeared to be malicious, and by changing a few parts, that code could appear benign to antivirus engines. The company's technical director of data science, Hyrum Anderson, highlighted that even changing some small details could allow it to bypass AV engines and explained… [Continue Reading]
